Arash Homampour is speaking at CAALA Vegas 2026.

He will share insights on one of the aspects of trial that separates a serious case from a fully proven one: damages.

His session, Laying the Foundation for Damages Evidence, Including Timelines and Demonstratives, focuses on how to build the record, use timelines with purpose, and present demonstratives that help juries understand the full human and financial impact of a case.

For trial lawyers handling high-stakes cases, this is one to make time for.

A public entity may call a location safe because no similar accident happened there before. That fact may be relevant. It does not end the analysis.

In a dangerous-condition-of-public-property case, prior accidents can help establish notice, the existence of a dangerous condition, and foreseeability. But getting that evidence before the jury depends on why it is being offered.

When prior accidents are used to prove a dangerous condition, courts require a stricter showing that they involved the same hazard mechanism. When they are offered to prove notice, the standard is more relaxed. The question becomes whether the earlier information should have drawn the entity’s attention to the danger.

Timing matters too. A later accident may help prove the condition was dangerous, but it cannot establish what the entity knew before the plaintiff was injured.

The defense’s “no prior accidents” argument deserves the same scrutiny. An absence of similar accidents is one factor, not a complete answer. Aggregated collision data that does not match the hazard at issue should not be treated as proof of safety. And when an entity knew about a physical deficiency or failed to maintain a reasonable inspection system, the lack of an earlier injury does not necessarily defeat notice.

In his new Advocate Magazine article, HLF attorney Scott E. Boyer explains the substantial-similarity rule, its limits, and the record lawyers should build through SWITRS data, public-records requests, claims histories, expert testimony, and motions in limine.

Independent contractor does not mean exempt from every safety law.

Delivery platforms may point to Proposition 22 when a courier causes a crash. But Proposition 22 addresses employment status. It does not erase a platform’s separate duties under California’s motor-carrier laws.

Vehicle Code section 34620(b) prohibits a person or company from engaging a motor carrier of property that does not hold a valid permit.

That rule reaches beyond large commercial trucks. Under California law and current CHP guidance, an ordinary personal vehicle used to deliver someone else’s property for compensation may qualify as a commercial motor vehicle. The CHP manual specifically identifies drivers working in third-party food delivery operations as for-hire motor carriers.

The legal question is direct. Did the platform or retailer dispatch a paid courier who lacked the permit California law required?

The statutory language raises a theory worth pleading and investigating.
Permit records, dispatch data, delivery agreements, payment records, insurance filings, and the identity of the company that engaged the driver may determine whether that duty was violated.

A missing permit is not merely paperwork. The permit system is tied to financial responsibility and safety oversight.

My latest Daily Journal article, “No Permit, No Defense,” explains why.

The jury needed only two days to decide.

The fight to get them there took nearly a decade.

O’Malley v. Diamond Resorts was never an easy case. A woman suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, alone in a hotel room. When her husband called and begged for a welfare check, the hotel broke its own two-person safety policy and sent a single untrained worker, who wrongly reported the room empty while she lay collapsed inside.

By the time the case reached trial, Diamond and its staffing company had spent years fighting every inch.

They disputed causation. They argued the victim’s own husband was to blame for calling for help. They gave the jury every reason to walk away.

Arash didn’t let them.

After a two-day deliberation, an Orange County jury returned a unanimous verdict on every question, more than $60 million.
For many firms, that would have been the headline. For Arash, it was the beginning of the next fight.

Diamond appealed. The battle continued long after the cameras left. And in November 2023, the Court of Appeal unanimously affirmed - rejecting every argument the defense raised, including the theory that Michael O’Malley was somehow at fault for asking for help.

The verdict didn’t just hold. Driven by a strategic pre-trial offer and years of accruing interest, it became a final paid judgment exceeding $100 million.

That’s what makes this case different. The work is never about headlines alone. Even after the press stopped covering it, we stood by our clients and continued the fight for maximum accountability, maximum results, and maximum justice.

Because full justice isn’t achieved when the verdict is announced.

It’s achieved when the fight is finished.

See how Arash turned a hard-fought $60M verdict into a $100M+ final paid judgment at the link in bio.

Uber and Lyft build their defenses around one idea: they’re not responsible. They’re wrong, and I want to help you prove it.

If you’re handling a serious injury or wrongful death rideshare case, I’m sharing the full framework I use against Uber, Lyft, and other TNCs for free, no strings. Seven liability theories, plus the pleadings, discovery, and motion templates to back them up: sample complaint, special interrogatories, RFPs reaching GPS/telematics and deactivation data, a PMQ notice, and a ready-to-adapt MSJ opposition.

And let’s dispel a myth while we’re at it: recovery on these cases is NOT capped at $1 million. That “$1M limit” is just the insurance policy; it is not the ceiling on liability. The right theories reach the company itself, well beyond any policy, which is exactly how these become the $5M-plus results they should be.

I want to make sure that serious injury or death rideshare cases (and the humans impacted by them) actually get full value. Use the materials on your own, and if you ever need help on a catastrophic injury or death case, please reach out. Either way, we’re here to help.

Freedom is worth celebrating, and so is the responsibility that comes with it.

At The Homampour Law Firm, we believe one of the greatest strengths of this country is that ordinary people have the power to hold powerful interests accountable.

That principle is at the heart of everything we do.

Today, we honor the freedoms we enjoy, the sacrifices that made them possible, and the people who continue working to build a more just and accountable society.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Fourth of July.

While Uber and Lyft have spent five years winning arbitrations, summary judgment/in limine motions, in cases they should have lost, my firm has been building the playbook to beat them.

This May 15 in Cabo at the Dordick Trial College, I’m handing it to every attendee.

The actual templates your firm has used to defeat Uber’s Proposition 22 immunity defense, including the framework that produced a $5,000,000 arbitration award against Uber on Public Utilities Code § 5354 alone.

Every attendee walks away with:

📁 Sample complaint pleading all seven TNC liability theories
📁 Sample special interrogatories targeting CPUC permit operations and driver complaint history
📁 Sample requests for production reaching driver ratings, deactivation flags, and GPS data
📁 Sample PMQ deposition notice covering permit conditions, safety protocols, and complaint handling
📁 Sample MSJ opposition built around the Public Utilities Code § 5354 statutory imputation framework

These are not generic forms. They are the documents that work.

Chris Dolan, Nicholas Rowley, and I will walk you through the framework, the discovery strategy, and the trial playbook. Then you fly home with the materials to deploy in your own cases the next morning.

If you are injured in an Uber or Lyft crash, can the company say, “Not our problem. The driver is an independent contractor”?

That is the issue.

Uber has argued that Prop 22 protects it from responsibility when its drivers hurt people.

But Prop 22 was about whether drivers are employees. It was not a free pass for Uber and Lyft to avoid responsibility to injured passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers.

These companies put drivers on the road, dispatch the rides, profit from the trips, and operate under California permits.

They should not be able to take all the benefits and avoid accountability when someone gets hurt.

My Daily Journal article explains why.

Six-figure debt needs more than small checks.

Arash Homampour puts into words a gap the legal profession keeps overlooking.
A $5,000 scholarship helps…

but what does it really solve against six-figure debt?

Here’s the reality:
• Law students are graduating with overwhelming financial pressure
• Public service lawyers carry that burden for a fraction of the pay
• Giving can’t be a seasonal gesture, it has to be part of the profession
• Real support goes beyond symbolic contributions

At some point, the question changes:
It’s not about what you can get.
It’s about what you’re willing to give.
